I dislike self-loathing INFPs. Own it, people. It's a bit of a mindfuck, but lots of people in the real world like INFPs. If you work with people, whatever your job, regulars will start coming up to you and unburdening themselves like you're a bartender. "Nonjudgmental" empathy is valued.
And I know it sometimes seems like we can barely make the bed without getting our feelings hurt, but our hypersensitivity is shallow; mastered Fi isn't vulnerable in any deep way, which is why INFPs sulk and skip from relationship to relationship, job to job, and never seem the worse for wear even if every one of those efforts fails in the most banal, soul-eroding ways imaginable. Mastered Fi is as robust as the T-1000's body: unless you burn those ideas and ethics and feewings like a fucking tick, it just...re-forms into the same enchanting asshole.
I understand it, though. INFPs embody everything Faustian Man does not. When the culture idealizes everything you have no talent for/interest in, it's easy to start believing you suck.
Disordered INFPs are an ordeal to interact with.
